DONE UP BY CARDS.
Two Cream City Youths Who Saw
the Elephant.

1.-TWO young Milwaukee men. who came
to Minneapolis a few days ago, are not
pleased with this city, and have announced
their intention of returning to the Cream
City in the near future. One of the young
men has a brother-in-law here, and came
up here with the intention of visiting him
and having good time generally. Thurs
day evening the two Milwaukee men started
out to see the sights. 1t was not long be-
fore they were met by two nicely-dressed
men with whom they engaged in converse
ton. Numerous resorts of questionable
character were visited. and finally the four
dropped into saloon on Second avenue
south. A game of cards was proposed by
one OF the nicely dressed men, and in few
minutes the four were engaged in a game
of stud poker, with a fifth party, who had
just stepped in. as dealer Luck
varied; first the Milwaukee men
being ahead and then the others. Thus it
ran on until both Milwaukee men got good
hands. One of the men who had been
showing them the town also appeared to
have good hand, and in less time than it
takes to tell it there was considerable
money. some 5000, on the table in chips
and cash. Of course, the genntlemanly
Minneapolis man held the winning hand,
and raked in the cash. leaving the Milwau-
kee men out about 5000 each and flat broke.
A kick was made, but the money was not
returned. The matter has been reported to
the mayor, who will fully investigate the

THE MUNICIPAL COURT CASE.

1t seems the belief of certain interested
day, in reference to the vote for municipal
judge and the special judge, bears some i'm
portant relation to the results of the claim
made by the Democrats. The reverse is
the case. 1t matter nothing whether the
council declared MesSrS. JORDAN and
PENNY elected or not. The function of
the council is simply ministerial, and if
they be entitled to seats Oh the bench. their
rights would not be in The least affected by
the refusal of the council to declare it. The
Republicans have seen fit to make party
matter of the contest, but that fact is
entirely without weight. The leading
attorneys of the city, without regard to
their political utilization, unite in the belief
that the terms of the present incumbents
of the municipal court bench will expire
with this month. the only difference of
opinion being in the method of filling their
places. Believing the terms will expire,
and knowing the power of securing their
successors remained with the people,
Messrs. JORDAN and PENNY have made
the race and been elected, and the law will
doubtless give them that to which they are
entitled. The general desire to do what is
right and abide by il is inherent in every
community, and there is no reason in this
case TO anticipate any difficulty. If these
gentlemen should be judges de facto or de
jure for the ensuing term the people will
have no fault to find, for their honesty is
above the slightest reproach and their ca
pability cannot be doubted. The people of
Minneapolis may look forward to the time
alluded to without apprehension.

MINNEAPOLIS

COUNCIL AND THE CITY OFFICES.
The Democratic members of the new
council should not think lightly of the re-
sponsiblity which rests upon them. For
the first time for years the people of this
great city of Minneapolis have entrusted
them with the government, and they must
demonstrate by their acts that the trust was
not misplaced. Before they commit them
selves in the matter of filling the several
city offices. the profoundest consideration
should be given the men who are to be Sc
lected. That they will be Democrats is. of
course, certain; but they should be more.
They should be men whose hands and
records are clear, and whose capabilities are
unQuestioned. The new council must fill
the offices with men who are above the
faintest breath of suspicion. The Jeffer-
sonian test: Is he honest? Is he capable?
should be applied to every candidate. and
if he fails to meet the standard.
he should be unhesitatingly dropped.
For every Office there are several
applicants and there will be no difficulty
in making a selection that will reflect credit
upon the council. The Democratic alder
men must realize that Democratic control
of the council is but an experiment, and
they must make it successful. They can
only do this by placing in the important
city offices at their disposal the very best
and cleaneSt men the party can furnish.
The city attorney, city clerk, engineer,
building Inspector, chief engineer of the
fire department and health officer must all
be men whose ability none can question,
and whose records are clean pages. If the
council will do but this, the control of the
city win remain with the Democracy for
almost all time to come; but let il fail in
this, its first imperative duty. and the party
will be overthrown at the next election.

More Democrats assembled by the elevator
to the council chamber. yesterday, than are
usually seen about the city hall. But the
Democracy feels that it owns the city now
and that it has come to stay. They wer
all partisan Democrats and il seems there
are now few of the party who call them
selves anything else. They surged into the
council chamber and fully occupied the
lobby. And nearly all of those Democrats
are candidates. The council was settling up
the election figures and the interest cen
tered in the judge and special judge of the
municipal court, as the Republicans claim
to believe there was no occasion for the
election of such officers. The official vote
showed the election of aldermen as already
given. making the incoming council stand:
Democrats. 10; Republicans II. Messrs j.
G. Moore, b. +. Nelson and w. ID. Hale
were declared elected to the school board.
In the First ward, Sixth precinct, los votes

The Hodsdon family's chickering's were
aired in the municipal court again yester-
day. Ebenezer. the father, was up for
calling his son Conway ''perjurer." The
alleged otfense was committed March 81
during family quarrel which grew out of
the law suits which they have instituted
against each other. Mrs. Hodsdon, the son
and the daughter Julia were the witnesses
against the elderly and doughty defendant.
and each swore that he had used the ex
preston referred to. Hodsdon pere swore
that he didn't and contemptuously referred
to his wife, and children as the
big three" When asked if Conway was
his son he answered after mature delibera-
ton, Il suppose he is" in a tone which
almost implied incredulity. He was backed
up in his assertions by the testimony of an
other daughter. Mrs. Mary Westlake. nee
Owens, who was present at the row, aud
said she did not hear her father use the
word ''perjurer."
IN DISTRICT COURT ALSO
The Hodsdon family troubles came up
in the district court again yesterday morn

polling EDeneZer Hodsdon to appear at the
special term to-day and show cause WHY
an order should not be made restraining
him from visiting or in any manner annoy
ing his wife, Jane S. Hodsdon. The order
was made on all affidavit filed by Mrs.
Hodsdon, in which she complained that her
husband, with whom she has not been on
good terms for some time, had come to her
house, called her vile names and accused
her of perjury in case tried recently in the
municipal court. She says he has also
brought strangers to her house and allowed
them to do as they pleased. entering he r

generally.
